About this course
Yocha Dehe Golf Club, nestled in the Capay Valley, is a testament to a tribe’s vision: to create a championship course from land that sustains and provides. This modern marvel unfolds across rolling hills, a stark contrast to the valley floor, demanding strategic play and offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Designed by Brad Bell, Yocha Dehe doesn't necessarily reward length. Instead, its generous fairways encourage aggressive lines, while subtly contoured greens penalize wayward approaches, as the course favors the thoughtful player over the bomber. The routing, though relatively new, feels timeless, blending seamlessly with the valley's natural undulations. Beyond the course itself, Yocha Dehe represents a unique blend of tradition and ambition. The Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, stewards of this land for generations, have interwoven their heritage into every aspect of the club, from the course design to the exceptional hospitality. It's a testament to the tribe's dedication to environmental stewardship and economic opportunity – a place where challenging golf meets cultural pride.

Getting there
The journey to Yocha Dehe Golf Club begins at Sacramento International Airport, roughly an hour's drive northwest into the rolling foothills of Yolo County. The route traces Interstate 5 through the fertile agricultural plains of the Sacramento Valley before turning west toward the Cache Creek Casino Resort, where the course resides on ancestral Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation land. As the highway gives way to the resort entrance, the landscape shifts from farmland to carefully sculpted terrain, the golden California grasslands rising and falling in dramatic fashion - a fitting threshold to one of the state's most discreet championship layouts, hidden in plain sight yet known only to those who seek it.
